A rat and cock sparrow mad a pitched
battle in Oil City the other day. The spar.
row was the aggressor, and attacked the rat
yiciously striking at it very much in the
style of game cock and then flying down
and pecking at it. Once it struck the rat in
the eye, and the rat spun around and around
before it could get its bearings. 10 the end,
however, the rat got the best of the battle,
and the sparrow flew away, having lost
many feathers.

SOME OF the Virginia newspapers are sur

Gen. Malone that the General is an avow-
ed supporter OF Mr.. Sherman for the next

why they should be, is strange, as he has
never attempted to conceal the fact that
Mr.. Sherman is his favorite, but, on the con-

RAILWAY RUMBlES.
The G. p. Ditched-The g. A. IL. Ex-
siOn-Mileage Tickets.

Word reached this city last night that
the G.. P. train due in Ogden this morn
ing had been ditched somewhere along
the line and would therefore not arrive
on time. This morning the further word
came that the train will be fourteen
hours late, but it is utterly impossible to
learn the particulars of the accident.
The Union Pacific gives notice that all
mileage tickets insured up to the present
time will become void on the 31st inst,
and that none will be sold afterthat date.
The Department Encampment of the
G. A. r. to be held in this city toward
the last of the month, will be the &C.
casion of the insurance OF excursion rates
over the roads leading from the different
points in the Utah Department to this
city. Round trip tickets will be
sold for a single fare to members OF this
department, G. A. R., from March 10Th
to March 23d inclusive, and will be good
to return up to the Goth. The tickets
will be sold at the following points
Montpelier, Minnedoka, Bellevue, Hal
ley, Eagle Rock, Shoshone, Park City,
Biackfoot, Kuna, Webb Rock and Gar
rison.
Last Sunday corps OF railroad sur
veyors, supposed to be in the employ of
the Utah Midland Railroad Company,
happened into Beaver. They were ex-
tremely reticent as to their business, but
we learned that they were striking pre-
liminary line for railroad heading south
west. Among their paraphernalia was a
complete Photographic outfit, and all the
mountains and passes were photographed
for future reference. 1t seems, however,
that they had no sooner arrived in town
than they received dispatch or order
from some source, as one of the party
said, to retrace their steps to the Sewer
valley, and from thence to strike line
via Marysvale to Parowan, thence west
erly. From what we could learn, they
came from the direction of Green River,
and although rumor says they are the
surveyors Of the Utah Midland, it is sup
posed they are the surveyors of the pro-
posed extension of the d. & R. G. Once
again Beaver is cast aside. Another corps
of railroad surveyors are reported as
being working Immediately west of Mil
ford, evidently aiming their steps towards
Nevada and the coast. This last outfit is
supposed to be in the employ of the
Union Pacific Railroad. Utonian.

The following cases were heard in

intendent and MIR. Wright sexton OF
Mount Olivet Cemetery, all the others
being trustees or directors. The plaintiff
alleges that he bought a lot in Mount
Olivet Cemetery for the sum of 500, and
that he buried two children there. Some
time later he visited the spot and found
the graves empty and the bodies
rudely inferred in the "Strang-
ers Field" He places his dam
age in the way of burial expenses
and mental distress at $4,000. G.. s.
Varian and G.. 0. Whittemore appear for
the plaintiff and W. G.. Hall represents
the defense. The evidence is not all in
yet.
In the case of the United States vs..

THE TITHING OFFICE.
GrOundIess RumOrs to the Effect That
1t Had Been ClOsed-It is,
However, no More.
The "Church Association OF the SAIL
Lake Stake Of Zion" Springs
Suddenly from the Ashes.
Angus M. Cannon, President, and A. W.
Carlson, Secretary, OF the New
Concern.

The air last evening was full OF rumors
to the effect that Marshal Dyer had
closed the doors of the Mormon tithing
offices, with a view to the confiscation OF
the property under the new law. The
Saints told the news to each other with
fearful eyes, and wondered among
themselves what the cd Gentiles"
would do next. Their worry was
however unnecessary, as the whole thing
turned out to be fake, and those who
spilled tears over the affair may now go
around and pick them up to keep in re-
serve for another occasion.
1t turns out to-day, however, upon in
vistigation, that
THE TTTHING OFFICE is NO MORE,
And that out of its ashes there springs
an institution with no less presumptuous
title than ''The Church Association of
the Salt Lake Stake of Zion"
Just what the nature OF this concern
is cannot be learned, as everyone con-
nected with it is either strictly ''mum"
or totally ignorant. A thorough inquiry
into the arrangement develops the facts
that Angus M. Cannon is the
president, and A. w. Carlson, of the big
Coop, the secretary. 1t is evident
that it is not an incorporation,
and the presumption that the place
has been sold to private par
ties is quite as ridiculous. At an
rate, the sign which used to read, Gen
eral Tithing Office, d" now bears the words,
"THE CHURCH ASSOCIATION OF THE SALT
LAKE STAKE OF ZION"
And the different departments are as
busy as ever. When the sign was
changed cannot be learned but a
clerk at the Office informed a DEMO
Graf reporter that the new in
titution had been in opeation since
the first of the present month. AS that
was before the Tucker bill became law,
the statement can be taken for what it is
worth.
1t is said that many of the Mormons
are refusing to pay their tithing on
the ground that there is no
longer a Tithing Office. 1t is hard,
though, to see the philosophy of this,
inasmuch as they never knew where their
tithing went to, any more than they do
now

COPTIC CLIPS.
Judge Piper Toys With the Festive
Fighters.

Judge Piper held high mass at his
court to-day and disposed of a number OF
cases.
James Russell, knowing that he
couldn't work bluff on the stern Judge
showed up his hand and the Court raked
in a $40 pot. All on account of tiny
little drunk.
A man named Mace, another named
j. II. McGlawson and still another named
Fred Butler were up on charge of
raising Cain in a First South street saloon.
All pleaded guilty, and Ferguson applied
his battery, getting the holy cinch on all of
them. The Court adjudged them all guilty
and fined Butler S., Mace 500 and Nc
Glowson $40.
George Golightly was arraigned upon
charge of battery upon Fred Sanrom,
but was at loss to know what
to plead. He did not know
whether he had done it or not, and ne was
sore perplexed. If he pleaded guilty he
might be telling lie and would also do
himself an injustice, while if he pleaded
guilty the Court might think he was lying
and he would likewise be done an injustice.
After taking until 2 O'Clock to think
it over Mr.. Golightly decided that he
had gone little heavier than was proper
under the circumstances and so he
entered plea of guilty. He was fined
$25.
Robert Bruce entered plea of guilty
to the charge of battery upon William
Calder and was fined $3.50.
